@Sam Barrow Have some good friends in the Indy area from school, great to hear you are hitting developing areas.

Ideally, I would like to develop a long term relationship with a lender and we can both make money together.Thank YouMatt

There are multiple factors that determine the success of a direct mail campaign besides the quality of the list.

We are looking to wholesale it but don’t have a very developed investor buyer network because we usually keep everything we get.

Most information Im finding is about residential investments/ flipping/ developing.  

It has been rumored (I cannot confirm that this is the actual intent of the developer) that there is a new housing development going in on Culebra and FM 1560 that is exactly what you are asking about.

In my experience the only way to make any money with a USDA property is to syndicate LIHTC funds and secure a developer's fee, as the rents rarely generate any significant ongoing cash flow.Kyle

As for the lots, it all depends on local development.

As @Knifie Burks said, Oak Park is pretty rough on prices, especially if you factor in the sky high property taxes.

I think the fundamental question is what are you after...it sounds like long-term stability...and there are a host of underlying factors that contribute.
